PAEONIES 
Possibly next to roses, paeonies fill a big blank in garden flower¬ 
ing wants. From early spring until fall a glorious show is guar¬ 
anteed if care is taken in selecting varieties. We offer only a lim¬ 
ited number of those known to be free bloomers and of striking 
beauty. 
AS TO PLANTING. Set the roots in the prepared soil, in their 
natural position, eyes or buds up, and at a depth so that the eyes 
will not be over two inches below the surface after the soil and 
the roots have settled. The common mistake is planting too 
deeply. Watch and see that the eyes are not more than two inches 
below the surface. The roots should be spaced 2 to 3 ft. apart. 
We offer only strong 3 to 5 eye plants that, if planted early in 
good soil, should bloom with the coming season. 
Price of below varieties, 35c each, I 0 for $3.00, not postpaid. 
ALBERT CROUSSE-Shell pink, late flowering. 
EDULIS SUPERBA—Soft pink, early flowering. 
FELIX CROUSSE—Brilliant, flaming red—midseason. 
FESTIVA MAXIMA-The ideal white, early. 
KARL ROSENFELD—Dark salmon, a very striking variety, 
midseason. 
MONS JULES ELIE—Pure pink. 
UNNAMED PAEONIES in pink, red and white colored blooms 
at the very special low price of 25c each, 10 for $2.00. 
PLEASE NOTE: The above Paeony prices are for good 3 to 5 
eye plants for shipment by express or freight. If wanted by parcel 
post prepaid, please add 5c to the each price, or 25c for a lot of 1 0.

TESTIMONIALS 
Note Well Packed 
Generous Count-True to Name 
Mr. E. H. Burson : 
I received the nursery stock. The trees 
were fine and they were wrapped splendid 
as usual, I certainly appreciate this be¬ 
cause some firms that I receive nursery 
goods from scarcely put on an excuse for 
a wrapper and the mulch will he running 
out and the roots exposed.
